re: Youth sports fricking suck sometimes.
Posted by extremetigerfanatic on 3/2/26 at 1:39 pm to gumbo2176
My daughter was a very good athlete and played AAU travel ball starting in the summer after the 6th grade. She was very good. But she had dad as her coach as a very young player. Once she got to 6th grade she was being coached in game by other more advanced coaches at school and in the summer. She had to adjust to being an athlete at an elite level. It was hard at first because she was used to things going her way all the time.
During a meltdown where we had a little back and forth, after an away 7th grade game, on the way home, I stopped the car on the side of the road and asked her,
"Do you want me to just be your cheerleader and just pump you up all the time and never point out mistakes? Or do you want me to continue to push you to be better and give you real feedback? Do you really want to put in the work to go be a high school basketball player? It's your call, I can do either. But not both. I'll be whatever you need me to be. I'm your dad, not your coach anymore." But I warned her, choosing option 1 meant this was the best it would ever be. I wasn't going to fight her battles for her. And I wasn't going to yell at her coach for her. Her coach is trying to win. I would just sit and cheer. But the meltdowns were over.
She picked the second option.
So one of the things we started was a tradition after every JH game and AAU game.
I would ask her, what was the one thing that she did the best in the game? What was her best attribute? She would answer. Then she would ask me what do you think I excelled at tonight? I would tell her. Sometimes the same, sometimes different. We would spend a few minutes relishing the good, even if it was just, I rebounded really good, or I made all my free throws.
Then I would ask her, what is the one thing you wish you could have done better tonight? And I would force her to be honest, don't just pick a nothingburger. She would answer and then I would ask, how can you get that done? Then she would ask me the same question, what is something I saw in her game that she needed to improve on, and I would tell her something she could work on. She would decide how she would do that.
It forced her to look at the game outside her emotions and outside of results. Helped her to focus on the process and understand her strengths and weaknesses. She could, by herself, reinforce the things done well and make a plan for getting better. It allowed her to address the negatives in a positive way.
By the time she was at the end of her freshman season, she was starting for a 5A school and she was doing these mental sessions on her own. She could process the good and bad and parley it into a plan for the future. Her coach saw it. She was her team captain for three years.
Be straight forward with your kid and help their mental game. You will learn one of two things, they don't really care about it and just want you to come and cheer, or you will learn they really do want to take on the challenge and be serious. If they don't take it as serious, cheer them on and don't ruin the fun they are having.
If they do, help them to learn to work on the process and internalize their own development. Too many parents worry about winning. And too many kids end up thinking they deserve a result. I tell my kids all the time, life is a ladder. All of the things you want are at the top. But you can't circumvent the process of climbing the ladder. Everyone wants to jump to the top. But the reality is you do it step by step. Help them learn to take on the steps and stop worrying about the top rung.

We still do extremely stupid stuff.
The last 4 min of the 1st quarter v Tenn. was just Keystone Cops level silliness when they were putting up the slightest little backcourt pressure with a late trap. We just went stupid for awhile.
Then in the fourth we push the lead to 18 and immediately we let up and let them have two wide open threes, turn it over a couple of times and bam they had it back to 10 in less than 2 minutes.
I would imagine it drives Kim mad.

I guess you can say its valuable because its tangentially part of something valuable. But it has to be one of the least individual values of the whole.

brah,
When it comes down to what will be supported, LSU will never ever be the most "all in" on baseball. Ever. Football rules the roost and always will. Having CJJ or not has nothing to do with that. People forget we lose money on baseball every year whether or not we win a championship. CJJ is not bigger than that. He could win 6 in 10 years like Skip did and that wouldn't change.
But, I would love to see which schools CJJ thinks are more all in on baseball than LSU.
There are two teams that have a bigger baseball budget than LSU. Tenn and UT.
I am not sure what he is complaining about. Is Florida more "all in" on baseball when their overall budget is 33% lower than LSUs?
Jay makes more than 18 of the 30 MLB managers. And when I say more, I mean he makes double what 18 teams pay their manager.
We are in the top 10 nationally for NIL across all sports. Thats including the fact that teams like OSU and Mich and Oregon don't have elite baseball programs at all.
All this considered, I would disagree and say this is NOT a significant story. It's Jay pushing for more. Fine. Get what you can get. But LSU isn't off when it comes to funding baseball.
Do we need to update the Box? Yes. but that's about it.

Why don't you start by looking up the question KD was asked that led to that response.
How does the original question (which I can’t find btw) matter?
KD went off because of the discussion around AAU ruining bball. He says everyone say the white Europeans do it right. Literally no one says that.
He conveniently leaves out that people actually say the same thing about travel ball ruining baseball.
He brings race into an issue that’s not about race. AAU and travel ball ruins their sports because they magnify adults making money off kids.
But please tell me how KD isn’t being blatantly racist.

If I have to explain my comment then the person who doesnt understand tariffs is you.
If you care about sovereignty and not allowing the US to get in a place where we rely on other countries (that seem to hate us) for our necessities- yes raise the tariffs and bring manufacturing home.
If just want cheap shite- don’t raise them.
There the answer to your question.

How fricking hard is it to understand tariffs? You learn about them in high school.
That’s not the problem the problem is the media lies about their impact because they have vested interests in the global economy.
Who can’t understand buy American?

Dudes a half Jewish half Cajun who grew up in LA who’s dad was a heroin addict, that somehow ended up in showbiz at the age of ten and made Disney by 12.
Knowing what we know now about Hollywood in that time and how his life has panned out what are the chances you think this dude wasnt molested as a kid?
Prob close to 0%.

I posted this idea awhile back as a replacement to the stupid arse bball goal on the sideline. I made a pic of it to explain to someone and figured I’d come back and post it.
How amazing would this be to have a cb pick off Bama in a big game then get to come down in front of the student section and fire some shirts off with this bad boy?

re: Tucker vs Huckabee debate has posted
Posted by extremetigerfanatic on 2/20/26 at 4:08 pm to scottydoesntknow
Yeah Tucker says early on to Mike, you are the first Reformed theologian I've asked these questions to, or something close to that.
But I don't think Mike is Reformed. His beliefs on Israel are clearly based in a Darby centered dispensationalism.
Its interesting that Tucker would decide to head down the road of all these gotchas. Asking some questions that no doubt even if Mike wanted to answer directly he can't. It was just odd.
I think it would have been more illuminating for Tucker to push the theological questions harder. Why do you belief Israel deserves our protection? It would have been nice to make Mike defend his view on it. And was the creation of Israel in 1948 correct?

re: The Supreme Court is wrong about Tariffs
Posted by extremetigerfanatic on 2/20/26 at 3:15 pm to Ag Zwin
Fine, Don't Tariff it.
Create licensing for the right to trade. Each license is paid monthly and is based on your country of origin's balance of trade with the US.
See? Regulation instead of a tariff.
It is impressive however the level of knuckling under that not only Roberts but also those on this board have over this ruling. It's asinine on its face.
Simply ask, "Why does the IEEPA even exist?"
or if that's too hard...
"Who created it?" and "does it delegate powers from the Congress to the President?"
This court could have just said, hey, these circumstances don't rise to the level of emergency to have the president make these tariffs active.
Nope, instead they essentially said that the IEEPA doesn't give the president the power to employ tariffs.
So think about what that means, if a country flies another plane into a building in New York, the IEEPA can't be used to increase tariffs. the president can cut off a country completely. But not a tariff.
It boggles the mind how they got this decision. It's like Brown wrote it.
